'Health Benefits of Nature in Cities'
Throughout the pandemic, park landscapes have provided a spectrum of health benefits, including access to fresh air, sunlight, informal, socially distanced community connections, and recreational playing fields. Contemporary public park experiences trace to historic landscape features, which were designed with respect to public health issues. We will review how findings from recent research have reinforced the value of past municipal planning strategies that foregrounded nature as a community asset. This presentation will include reflections of Don Carlos and Alice Peete family life within the Kansas City context, and how their life experiences connect to historic landscape design and city planning principles that were advanced by Frederick Law Olmsted. In addition, we will explore the formation of feasible and beneficial daily nature-human health relationships that are increasingly essential to individual, neighborhood, and planetary resiliency.
